Start by preparing the bacon. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the bacon slices. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
In the same skillet, add the ground beef and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well with your hands or a spatula to combine the seasonings evenly throughout the beef.
Divide the seasoned beef into four equally-sized patties, and flatten them slightly with your hands. Place the patties into the heated skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty, cover the skillet, and let the cheese melt.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the lettuce wraps. Rinse and pat dry the iceberg lettuce leaves. Layer two leaves per cheeseburger to form a strong base for holding the fillings.
To assemble the burgers, start by placing one cheeseburger patty on two layered lettuce leaves, then stack another patty on top. Add two slices of crispy bacon, a few slices of tomato, a pickle slice, a teaspoon of yellow mustard, and a teaspoon of mayonnaise.
Top with another two lettuce leaves to wrap it up, securing all the layers, and enjoy your low carb bacon double cheeseburger.
